Quit Smoking...A Choice, 'Freer' Than You Think!
Quit Smoking
In the world we live in today, Smoking, can be a behaviour designed to help you survive and cope in life on one level or another. It may be to deal with everyday stress, in social interactions, a brief break from a stressful job, calm emotions or just from force of habit etc. This maladaptive way to survive in the world may often be rationalised and even defended in the face of opposition. Stubbornness may take over, in some instances, making one more determined to smoke when confronted.
BrainWorking Recursive Therapy can help rewire the unconscious reasons and compulsions to smoke, as well as the blocks to being a non-smoker. Helping to resolve these compulsions and dissolve craving blocks to allow you to be free from smoking. BrainWorking Recursive Therapy uses natural psychological processes to recondition neural pathways in the brain that lead to unwanted behaviour.
